1. This might be an eye opener…….
Come and see what JAM ANGOLA is
doing in 2013
Here is a quick look at who we are, what we
do, where we live and work in Angola.
Take a few minutes and join us on this trip
through Benguela Province
2. We are a team of individuals who work to support school
feeding and help vulnerable women and children.
Like any team, JAM Angola is made up of different people
from different backgrounds with different jobs to do
What do we do?
1. We work in primary schools.
We feed about 270,000
children in schools in
Benguela Province, 530 km
south of the Capital city of
Luanda.
2. These children are in about
470 schools in all of
Benguela’s Districts
3. Thanks to a variety of different donors we are
able to support malnutrition centres and hospitals
throughout Benguela Province
Supporting all of these activities are qualified
staff who plan activities , unload cargo, prepare
transportation, pay invoices and monitor what is
going on in the schools and establishments we
work with and support. In the next few slides we
will talk about the different aspects of our work
and the beneficiaries that we serve throughout
the year.
4. Receiving Commodities
As you may know, the most important part of food we
receive comes as a grant from the United States
Department of Agriculture in a program known as
McGovern Dole. The food is shipped from the United
States to the Port of Lobito where it is unloaded from
the vessel and then driven to our warehouses in
Benguela. The food will be stored there until it is
shipped out to field warehouses and about 470 schools
in the province. Here are some pictures of unloading
that took place last week.
5. This is a picture of the Sheila McDevitt, the ship that
brought the food from the US
20. In many areas where we work there is little or no
water. There was a serious drought in Benguela
Province in 2012
21. We would be remiss if we didn’t talk about wells:
this year we should be drilling in 2 Provinces
We should also have new sources of
funding to support these activities
in 2013
30. Here are a few pictures of your colleagues working in
Angola: On the left Daniel, supervisor in Cubal and on
